  4. As a dry weather rider you shouldn’t really have too much of a problem with bolts corroding but to prevent it or at least significantly prolong the new look dip a cotton bud in WD40 and run it over the bolt heads and in the machined ally recesses once every couple of months.

  7. No idea but everything is touches it does a bloody good job of cleaning. I use it neat along the bottom of the bike, chain set, calipers, engine and then water it down for the rest of the bike...

  16. I spray the entire bike in acf50 for the duration of winter storage
    It looks a bit smudgy, but it keeps things looking OK.
    I haven't the energy to be replacing screws.

  17. I recommend ACF 50 grease

    Applied with a little brush as a thin smear
    Doesn't bleed everywhere so you can be accurate and confident it has not gone all over the discs or tyres
